The NYC Market is over-saturated with new sporting venues. NJ Devils and the Pru Center are in the best position due to being first movers while others are struggling with ticket sales, sponsorships, construction financing, etc...

Great idea for the state of NJ to finance a refurb of the IZOD center...

Here's an article on the Pabst Blue Ribbon bottle from the old plant in Newark. It is currently in a scrapyard in the Ironbound. The article mentions that Vanderbeek was interested in purchasing the bottle for the entry plaza on Edison Place but plans have been stalled thanks to the rent dispute between the Newark Housing Authority and the Devils.

Another thought...I'm planning out my summer vacation and one of my stops is Columbus and the Arena District around Nationwide Arena is exactly what I have envisioned for around Prudential Center. They saved the old buildings, restored them, and used some as fronts on new buildings, and they built new buildings that look old but are modern. After I go there, I'll have pictures and stuff to say, I'm sure.

I! I believe! I believe that we! I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win!

Sad part is these listing only prove how long its going to take to create the environment promised when the Rock was being built. Having looked at liquor licenses and the cost per a square foot I can personally tell you it's extreemly difficult to make it work with the way people pricing these out. I think it's sad that two of the buildings listed there for sale were designated for redevelopment and basically given to the current owner who will do nothing but flip them for a easy profit.

I went to college at NJIT and let me tell you compared to the late 90s, Newark is revitilizing at warp speed thanks to the Devils. Newark is the city god forgot so it takes some time to move anything there. Give it a few years, and hopefully a longer playoff season and there will have to be more businesses to handle the tourists coming in during the May/June days looking to hang out in good weather.
